In Massachusetts one must apply for a LTC to the Chief of Police of the city/town in which he lives. That Chief has absolute discretion in approving,or denying,an application. The only recourse that one who's been denied has is to appeal to the State Police.

I know this because I recently applied and was denied. I live in a fairly affluent suburb just chock full of bleeding heart Maoists and my town is known as one where applications are rarely approved. I've lived a life so clean...and so so boring...that it would make you weep. Yet I was denied.

That,to me,is "preemption".

Yes, Massachusetts frequently and flagrantly infringes on its residents Second Amendment rights.

There is some hope the Supreme Court, with two new President Trump appointees in Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, will offer some relief.

A case is coming up this term. We should get an opinion by the end of June.

No one knows how, or how much, will be decided by it.
